Regular Season

The 2025–26 Jordanian Premier Basketball League, also known as the CFI Premier Basketball League for sponsorship reasons,[1] is the 71st season of the Jordanian Premier Basketball League (JPL), the top-tier competition for professional men's teams in Jordan. The season began on 15 December 2025 and is scheduled to conclude on 15 May 2026.

Amman United are the defending champions of the competition, having won the previous season.[2][3]

Format

The first round of the tournament will be held in a double round robin format in order to determine the positions of the teams, which will continue until 3 February 2026, to which there will be a break until 22 March 2026, in order for the Jordan national basketball team to prepare for its 2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualification matches.[4]

The second round would begin on 23 March 2026, with a three-game series between the following: first-placed versus eighth-placed, third-placed versus sixth-placed, then second-placed versus seventh-placed, and the fourth-placed versus fifth-placed team. The winner of the short series would advance to the third round.[4]

The third round begins on 2 April 2026, with another three-game series between the winners of the second-round.[4]

The fourth and final round, the finalists compete for the Premier League title in a five-game series, to be held between 17 April and 15 May 2026, with the winner being crowned by winning three of the five games. This round is preceded by a third-placed match, to which both teams will compete in a three-game series.[4]

Teams

Al-Faisaly, Al-Wehdat, and Inglizia were promoted from the Jordanian First Division League. Whereas Al-Ahli and Orthodox from the previous season did not participate in the competition.

The league ultimately increased from 7 teams in the previous season to 8 teams.
